Maybe One of Biden’s ‘Experts’ Can Explain To Him How FDA Approval Works; Melinda Gates Is ‘Incredibly Disappointed’ Trump Put Americans First; FDA Panel Recommends Use of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Joe Biden has billed himself as a leader who will work in “lockstep” with experts when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic. Well, a good place for him to start would be to learn the difference between an FDA advisory panel’s recommendation for approval of a drug and actual FDA approval. . .

Following Thursday’s recommendation, Joe Biden released a statement on the FDA’s “approval” of the Pfizer vaccine candidate, which hasn’t happened yet.

“Yesterday marked another tragic milestone in our fight against COVID-19,” Biden’s statement began. “But today’s approval by the Food & Drug Administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is a bright light in a needlessly dark time.”

An expert or anybody who read the news about the committee’s recommendation to approve the vaccine candidate could have explained the process to Joe.

“Vaccines don’t equal vaccinations,” Biden lectured. “Our challenge now is to scale up manufacturing and distribution to distribute 100 million shots in the first 100 days of my administration.”

Melinda Gates Is ‘Incredibly Disappointed’ That Americans Will Get the Vaccine First

By Townhall. Billionaire globalist Melinda Gates is “incredibly disappointed” that President Trump has put Americans first in line to receive the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine.

Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, told CNN’s Poppy Harlow that it’s America’s and other high-income countries’ responsibility to make sure impoverished nations get access to the vaccine just as quickly as everyone else.

“Everybody needs this vaccine,” complained Gates. “If we only get it to the high-income countries, this disease is going to bounce around. We’re going to see twice as many deaths. And our recovery of our economies is going to be much slower than if we get the vaccine out to everybody.” . . .

Melinda Gates, who warns about so-called “vaccine nationalism,” said President Trump’s executive order putting Americans first in line to receive the vaccine “is exactly what we were worried about.”

Gates said Trump should invoke the Defense Production Act, for the umpteenth time, and scale up “lots and lots of manufacturing so that not just the U.S. gets vaccines but everybody gets vaccines.” (Read more from “Melinda Gates Is ‘Incredibly Disappointed’ That Americans Will Get the Vaccine First” HERE)

FDA Panel Recommends Use of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

By CBS News. A federal advisory panel on Thursday recommended the emergency use of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. The Food and Drug Administration is expected to approve the drug, kicking off a massive nationwide operation to get nearly 3 million doses of the vaccine to hospitals and drug stores across the country.

“We’ve been working very closely with our state and local partners to make sure they have plans in place to identify providers that are able to receive, store and use the vaccine,” said Dr. Anita Patel, deputy of the CDC’s vaccine task force.

The experts voted 17 to 4 in favor of recommending the drug for emergency use for people aged 16 years and older, with one of the members withholding. Health care workers and nursing home residents will be among the first to get the vaccine.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla applauded the panel’s decision. “We are pleased with the strong majority vote, and if the FDA issues an authorization, stand at the ready to bring this vaccine to people in the U.S. in an effort to help combat this devastating pandemic,” Bourla said in a statement.

The FDA, however, is not required to follow the panel’s advice. “After we receive recommendations, we will incorporate that into our decision,” Stephen Hahn, the agency’s commissioner, told “CBS This Morning,” calling the endorsement “nonbinding.” (Read more from “FDA Panel Recommends Use of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine” HERE)

Radio Host Sounds Ominous Warning About Future of America

/0 Comments/in , , /by

With the political divide in America continuing to increase, radio star Rush Limbaugh believes the nation is moving toward secession.

“I actually think that we’re trending toward secession,” the broadcaster said on his Wednesday broadcast.

“There cannot be a peaceful coexistence of two completely different theories of life, theories of government, theories of how we manage our affairs. We can’t be in this dire a conflict without something giving somewhere along the way.”

“I know that there’s a sizable and growing sentiment for people who believe that that is where we’re headed whether we want to or not. Whether we want to go there or not.” . . .

“Our problem is the fact that there are just so many RINOs, so many Republicans in the Washington establishment who will do anything to maintain their membership in the establishment because of the perks and the opportunities that are presented for their kids and so forth.” (Read more from “Radio Host Sounds Ominous Warning About Future of America” HERE)

Texas Sues Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin at Supreme Court Over Election Rules; Pence To Decide Race? Law Profs Say VP Allowed To ‘Count’ Electoral Votes

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Breitbart. The State of Texas filed a lawsuit directly with the U.S. Supreme Court shortly before midnight on Monday challenging the election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution.

Texas argues that these states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures. Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. Finally, Texas argues that there were “voting irregularities” in these states as a result of the above.

Texas is asking the Supreme Court to order the states to allow their legislatures to appoint their electors. (Read more from “Texas Sues Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin at Supreme Court Over Election Rules” HERE)

Pence To Decide Race? Law Profs Say VP Allowed To ‘Count’ Electoral Votes

By WND. An analysis by two prominent law professors published before the election concluded that if Electoral College votes remain in dispute after they are counted in Congress, the vice president, as presiding officer of the joint session, could choose not to allow certain disputed votes.

The scenario isn’t entirely remote, with lawsuits challenging the results in six states and the possibility the U.S. Supreme Court could weigh in.

John Yoo of California-Berkeley and Robert J. Delahunty of St. Thomas University wrote in an analysis published Oct. 19 by the Claremont Institute that Vice President Mike Pence can refuse to count some of the votes if they remain disputed.

The professors concluded that the “constitutional structure” favors President Trump if Election Day “fails to result in a clear winner.”

They cited the “unprecedented” circumstance of the COVID-19 pandemic on the election and envisioned a scenario in which “Trump appears to be the winner on the morning after Election Day, but a ‘blue wave’ begins in the days and weeks after, and Biden claims a belated, overtime victory.” (Read more from “Pence To Decide Race?

Nancy Pelosi Let Millions Suffer To Win An Election

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has cackled the quiet part out loud. In a statement Friday, she announced that all of a sudden, after months and months of American people and small businesses begging for relief, that she will now compromise on a $908 billion stimulus package.

Why the sudden change of heart? Because Joe Biden is the proclaimed winner of the presidential race. What is as plain as the couture mask on Nancy’s face is that she let millions suffer for one reason and one reason only, to help Joe Biden win the election. . .

Pelosi had two paths before the election, to accept the $1.8 trillion-package President Trump offered as a compromise (which last I checked was actually bigger than $908 billion) and see what happened in the election to seek more, or to stiff the American people while she got her hair done without a mask and ate expensive ice cream. She chose the latter in a cynical effort to hurt Donald Trump.

Pelosi and her sycophants will say that they had no guarantee that Trump, if reelected, would follow through with more stimulus in the new year. Even if that is true, and there is not much reason to believe it is, so what? In what universe is nothing with a chance of more later better than something with a chance of more later? It makes absolutely no sense.

Pelosi isn’t even arguing that she was delaying as a tactic to move Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to her position before the election. She knew that wouldn’t happen and she didn’t care. She refused to compromise. (Read more from “Nancy Pelosi Let Millions Suffer To Win an Election” HERE)

Pelosi Willing To Accept Smaller Relief Bill: It’s ‘Okay Now Because We Have a New President’

By Daily Wire. Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday that she would work with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to pass a smaller coronavirus relief package which she deemed was now okay “because we have a new president.”

“What shifted in your opinion when the Problem Solvers Caucus had a much larger bill a few months ago?” a reporter asked Pelosi. “You did not like that piece of legislation. What has shifted now when they’re on board with this piece that’s come out in the Senate?”

“Perhaps you missed what I said earlier. Joe Biden committed to ending and crushing the virus and had a build better America initiative, build back better,” Pelosi snapped back. “A vaccine, answer to our prayers. An answer to our prayers of 95% effectiveness in terms of Pfizer and Moderna and there maybe others coming forward. That is a total game changer, a new president and a vaccine.”

“This has simplicity. It’s what we’ve had in our bills,” she claimed. “It’s for a shorter period of time, but that’s okay now, because we have a new president. A president who recognizes that we need to depend on science to stop the virus. A president who understands that America’s working families need to have money in their pockets in a way that takes them into the future, without any of the contraptions of any of the other bills that the administration was associating itself with [inaudible] before.” (Read more from “Pelosi Willing To Accept Smaller Relief Bill: It’s ‘Okay Now Because We Have a New President’” HERE)

‘Exceptionally Disturbing’: Forensic Exam Shows Dominion Machine Switching Votes?; No, the Georgia Vote-Counting Video Was Not ‘Debunked.’ Not Even Close (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. Alarm bells regarding the presidential election are now sounding in Georgia, where a U.S. congressman says a forensic test of Dominion Voting Systems machines revealed votes for President Donald Trump were being switched to votes for Democrat Joe Biden, although the claim is denied by some election officials. . .

The matter caught the attention of popular radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh on Monday, who explained, “They fed an equal number of votes for both Trump and Biden into the software, and it turns out an equal number of votes for Trump and Biden was spat out of the machine as a 26% lead for Biden.” (Read more from “‘Exceptionally Disturbing’: Forensic Exam Shows Dominion Machine Switching Votes?” HERE)

No, the Georgia Vote-Counting Video Was Not ‘Debunked.’ Not Even Close

By The Federalist. A Big Tech-backed “fact” “checking” outfit claimed to debunk explosive evidence in support of Republicans’ claims of significant election problems at a Thursday Georgia Senate hearing. It didn’t. Not even close.

Newly discovered security footage from Georgia’s State Farm Arena showed dozens of ballot counters, media, and Republican observers leaving en masse at the same time from the ballot-counting area for Fulton County. After they left, a small remnant of about four workers began pulling trunks containing thousands of ballots from underneath a table with a long tablecloth and running them through machines.

The footage supported claims from Republicans that they were told counting had stopped for the night, only to find out hours later that it had kept going on. You can and should watch the 12-minute portion of the testimony from Jacki Pick here.

On Friday morning, a group called Lead Stories published a “hoax alert” falsely claiming to have debunked the security video. The Washington Post, Newsweek, and other outlets followed along, criticizing non-leftist journalists for giving the video traction. In fact, none of the claims made by the Republicans were debunked. . .

Leaving aside whether relying solely and uncritically on government officials’ claims constitutes anything close to a “fact” “check,” let’s look at the claim that party observers were never told that counting was over for the night. In Lead Stories’ regurgitation of the government officials’ claims, only the people who cut open the absentee ballot envelopes were sent home, while ballot counters and scanners were retained and kept working — and no one told the press or other observers they were done counting.

Autopsy Report Reveals Grisly Details in Camping Trip Death of Fort Bragg Paratrooper

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Fort Bragg paratrooper who went missing on a camping trip with fellow soldiers in May was decapitated, according to the findings of a recently released autopsy report.

Spc. Enrique Roman-Martinez, 21, from Chino, California, was a human resource specialist in the 82nd Airborne Division stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, when he disappeared during a Memorial Day weekend camping trip with friends at Cape Lookout National Seashore, CBS News reported. His partial remains washed ashore one week later, and his death was ruled a homicide.

The autopsy report, signed Nov. 4 from the Division of Forensic Pathology at East Carolina University’s Brody School of Medicine, indicates that Roman-Martinez was murdered. But examiners were not able to determine the exact cause, because the young man had been decapitated and his head was the only remains recovered.

“While decapitation is, in and of itself, universally fatal, the remainder of the body in this case was not available for examination, and therefore potential causes of death involving the torso and extremities cannot be excluded,” the report states. But it also pointed to other grisly details, such as “evidence of multiple chop injuries of the head,” and a broken jaw in at least two places. . .

[His sister] Griselda told the Army Times that when her brother disappeared, he left behind his cellphone, wallet, and “the glasses he desperately needed.” According to Griselda, there were roughly seven other soldiers on the camping trip with Roman-Martinez, but none of their names have been disclosed to the family.

Cops Raid Home of Fired Data Analyst Who Toyed With COVID Numbers, May Have Hacked Emergency Alert System (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Florida state police raided the home of a former data analyst for the Florida Department of Health on Friday, who claims Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) “sent the gestapo” to get her to “shut up.”

Rebekah Jones was fired from her position in the DeSantis administration in May for allegedly modifying the state’s COVID-19 dashboard unilaterally without authorization. She claims the state was misleading citizens on the coronavirus numbers, and now she runs her own COVID-19 tracking sites from her house. . .

Jones tweeted Friday that state police served a warrant at her home that morning and seized property, claiming that officers “pointed a gun in [her] face” and “pointed guns at [her] kids.”

She posted accompanying video showing the purported scene from inside her home as police entered. Armed officers can be seen walking through the hallway, and pointing their firearms upward as they called for Jones’ husband to come down the stairs. Neither Jones’ husband nor the couples’ children are seen in the footage.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement confirmed in a statement that they served a warrant on Rebekah Jones’ residence, saying that they had been investigating a complaint from the Florida Department of Health that someone had “illegally hacked into their emergency alert system.” (Read more from “Cops Raid Home of Fired Data Analyst Who Revealed State Was Misleading Citizens on COVID” HERE)

WIN: Trump Team Allowed To Begin Examination Of Dominion Voting Machines

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. Amid national concern over alleged fraud involving election machines belonging to Dominion Voting Systems, President Donald Trump’s legal team on Sunday began forensic analysis of 22 of the machines in Michigan after a judge in the state allowed the examination. . .

The move was hailed by Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, who tweeted: “BIG WIN FOR HONEST ELECTIONS. Antrim County Judge in Michigan orders forensic examination of 22 Dominion voting machines. This is where the untrustworthy Dominion machine flipped 6000 votes from Trump to Biden.” . . .

The Detroit Free Press reported: “Antrim County is solidly Republican but its unofficial results initially showed Democrat Joe Biden winning more votes on Nov. 3 than Trump did. The results were soon corrected and county and state officials have said the initial reporting inaccuracies were due to programming errors by the Republican clerk and not due to errors by the Dominion Voting Systems election equipment or related software.” (Read more from “Trump Team Begins Examination Of Dominion Voting Machines” HERE)

Trump Legal Team Celebrates After Michigan Judge Allows Probe of Dominion Voting Machines

By Fox News. A Michigan judge is allowing a forensic investigation of 22 Dominion vote tabulation machines in rural Antrim County amid claims that votes there were compromised.

Trump campaign attorneys celebrated the decision although the case is not related to the presidential contest.

“Our team is going to be able to go in this morning at about 8:30 and will be there for about eight hours to conduct that forensic examination and we’ll have the results in about 48 hours, and that’ll tell us a lot about these machines,” attorney Jenna Ellis said on “Fox & Friends” Sunday morning.

USA Today Mocked After ‘Fact Check’ Claims Calling Out Dems for COVID Hypocrisy Is ‘Missing Context’

By Fox News. USA Today was once again mocked Wednesday over another so-called “fact check,” this time for their scrutiny of a claim calling out Democratic leaders for their apparent coronavirus hypocrisy.

On Tuesday, USA Today outlined the claim that “[s]everal Democratic politicians urge social distancing and issuing stay-at-home advisories but host or attend gatherings,” which stemmed from a viral Facebook post from the group Occupy Democrats Logic.

The post, which has since been taken down, included a screenshot of a Nov. 13 tweet from conservative commentator Liz Wheeler, who called out California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for flouting CDC guidelines over the past several weeks. . .

The fact check acknowledges that there was “some truth” to the claims, confirming that Newsom did in fact attend a dinner party at the French Laundry in Napa County and Lightfoot similarly addressed a pro-Biden celebration on the streets of Chicago.

However, the paper pointed out that both Pelosi and the House GOP had planned a dinner for new members of Congress before scrapping those plans. The fact check, however, does not mention Pelosi’s infamous trip to a shuttered San Francisco hair salon without wearing a mask, which was first reported by Fox News.

McEnany Hits Democratic Leaders for Not Following Their Own COVID-19 Restrictions

By The Hill. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday admonished Democratic leaders who have sparked controversy after being seen in public despite health restrictions several of them implemented or supported in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Behind me you will see images of Democrat hypocrisy playing on loop,” McEnany told reporters during a press briefing.

The press secretary played images of California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) eating at an indoor restaurant last week, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) celebrating President-elect Joe Biden’s victory last month in what McEnany called “maskless streets” and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) visiting a California hair salon earlier this summer while they were closed by local health officials.

“Quite clearly, these Democrats do not follow their own edicts,” she said. “They act in a way their own citizens are barred from acting.”
